Nashbar or Scattante Frame?

Anyone have any experience with the Nashbar Aluminum X frame or Scattante Cross XRL cross frameset? Looking to do a cross bike budget build from old road components. Nashbar frame requires buying more parts separately, while the Scattante seems to have issues with the fork. Any thoughts or experience would be appreciated. Also, if you have any other ideas for alternatives (besides CL or ebay) let me know. Thanks.
